with Dave Odom,
former University of South Carolina and Wake Forest Head Coach;
406 Career wins, Nine NCAA Appearances

Highly successful coach Dave Odom presents a defensive package to fortify the perimeter, lane and basket area. Stopping penetration to the basket is the backbone of this half court defense. Starting with the "heels on the line" philosophy, Odom builds an entire defense that has proven successful at the Division I level. He reveals specific teaching tips for on-ball, one pass away and two passes away defenses that will cut down the driving lanes for the offense. Five dominant offensive movements, including the UCLA cut and on ball screens, are eliminated with this stingy half court defense. Using players in 5-on-5 play, Odom points out each strength and deficiency within the defense. Odom promotes a defensive system that is bent on being solid and not giving up penetration. By utilizing this defense your team can eliminate rotation, mismatches and fouls on the defensive end.
